Limping return

[Nephrite]

it is getting a bit tiresome, yes

Moore nods. "I know. But I won't give up." He says. "I have a few ideas still. Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire. Is there anything you would personally like to see me do once I'm in a state to do it as repayment for your effort?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," The eladrin agrees, "When you're well. Don't worry - just dream, I'll see you again. My love rules all dreams, no matter how far away."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Thank you. Is it in your power to send me to Ysgard? Preferably as close to the World Serpent as you may be allowed." Moore says, then he smiles just a small bit. "I don't know if this plan of mine will work, but I have to try."

[Anastasia]

"It's not close at all," he allows, "Jormugandr does not allow just anyone into his lair."

[Nephrite]

"Then I will just have to impress him." Moore says with a smile. "I don't mind a bit of spelunking."

[Anastasia]

In an instant you feel cold, blinking your eyes open. IT's much colder now, you can tell that much.

[Nephrite]

Moore looks around for a cave or something similar!

[Anastasia]

You're sitting in an ice-choked cave, Xandra lying next to you. As she rises you can see it's a small little dead end, a passage leading out of this and turning to the side, meandering. The walls are smoothly grooved, glimpsed beneath a thick but transparent layer of ice.

[Nephrite]

"Have a nice dream?" Moore asks as he moves to fly up.

[Anastasia]

Looking about, "Yes, but this begs the obvious question."

[Nephrite]

"He wasn't able to undo it. So I'm trying a more direct route — we're going to plead our case — my case — to the Works Serpent." Moore explains as if that answers everything.

[Anastasia]

Works? Autocorrect gone mad, I presume?

"I see." Xandra says, "You believe Jormugandr can remove the curse?"

[Nephrite]

Indeed.

"I... well, there were some people in Aurora who approached him about his poisons." Moore explains. "When we saw Moonlight, it reminded me that she worked with ravages before, which could work on specifically evil things. I figure, maybe I'm approaching this entire thing the wrong way -- if divine will can't get rid of it, then maybe something rumored to be able to harm even divine beings would work." A small shrug with a smile afterwards.

"I thought it was worth a shot, since so far I'm zero for three on actual divine help." He says.

[Anastasia]

"It's worth trying, if we can manage it," Xandra says, "Where exactly are we?"

[Nephrite]

"Well, in Ysgard... somewhere." Moore says. He heads towards the one pathway that's available. "I asked to be brought as close to Jormungandr as possible."

I'm going to misspell that name forever, probably.
